USGS Update 2006-Feb-05 10:00
Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift southeastward in the morning and eastward in the evening.
Recent observations: No significant changes have been detected in the level of activity during the past day. Fair weather has returned to the Pacific Northwest. However, the JRO webcam iced over last night which prevented direct observations of the crater area until about 0950 PST today when the dome was observed emitting a weak steam plume that dissipated at rim level. Fieldwork is planned to make repairs to monitoring sites this week.
